I will patch php2shell and upgrade PHP on your wordpress site safely
About this gig
Is your WordPress site still running an old PHP version?
On October 21, PHP fixed two critical vulnerabilities (PHP2Shell, CVE-2026-109618 & CVE-2026-109619) that let attackers run code on your server without logging in. WordPress updates and security plugins do NOT fix this. Only a PHP update does.
I'm Hassan, a WordPress developer with 3 years of experience building and maintaining sites for clients in the US, UK, Australia and Belgium.
What I'll do:
- Check your current PHP version and hosting setup
- Upgrade PHP to a patched version (8.2.35, 8.3.36, 8.4.27 or 8.5.12)
- Take a full backup before any change
- Test your theme, plugins and key pages after the upgrade
- Fix PHP compatibility errors that come up
- Check for suspicious admin users and unknown PHP files
- Send you a short report of what was done
Works with cPanel, hPanel, Plesk, SiteGround, Hostinger, Bluehost, GoDaddy and more.
Shared hosting: if your host controls PHP, I'll guide you or contact support for you.
Message me before ordering if you're not sure which package you need.

FAQ
My WordPress is up to date. Am I safe?
Not necessarily. PHP2Shell is a bug in PHP itself, not WordPress. Only updating your server's PHP version fixes it.
Will upgrading PHP break my site?
Old themes or plugins can sometimes break. That's why I take a full backup first and test everything after the upgrade. If something breaks, I fix it or roll back.
I'm on shared hosting. Can you still help?
Yes. If your host lets you choose the PHP version, I'll upgrade it. If not, I'll contact your host's support and confirm when the patch is applied.
What if my site is on PHP 8.1 or older?
There's no official fix for those versions, so I'll upgrade you to a supported version (8.2 or newer) and fix any compatibility issues.
Do you need my passwords?
I'll need access to your hosting panel and WordPress admin. Please share it through Fiverr's chat, and change the passwords after the job is done.
